CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING WITH ICONS
PD-3000 41
Multiple stitch
The following describes how to program multiple stitches.
Programming is possible from a line at either the inside or the outside. Sewing is carried out in the order of
programming and in the programmed direction.
When the sewing direction is changed at a sharp angle, provide a split in the vicinity of the direction change point for
finishing the multiple stitch in relatively uniform conditions.
Up to 200 points can be specified for either the inside or the outside. If you attempt to input 201 or more points, the
needle point is automatically returned to the previous point. In that case, start inputting the points of another side
(outside or inside) line, or change the point input position or pattern.
■ Creating a stitch pattern
1. Create a pattern of the inner and outer lines for
a multiple stitch.
The two lines should be spaced uniformly.
2. Connect each direction change point on the
inside line with the matched direction change
point on the outside line using a line.
3. Create at least 1 point between the direction
change points on both the inner and outer lines,
and connect the points in pairs on the inner and
outer lines using a line.
Place these points in the same way as creating a
curve.

Refer to "Pattern with curves" (page 34).
Specify direction change points in pairs on the inner
and outer lines. The lines should be spaced
uniformly.
